After Monday's loss to the Houston Rockets, Coach Byron Scott said they have to win their next four games at home, starting Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"We've got to win, it's that simple,'' Scott said. "These last 16 games, we are going have to get something from somebody. I had a hard time sleeping last night. One of those nights where I kept waking up thinking about what we have to do or what I can do to help us be a little more productive.''

Scott said it's been a puzzling season. Last week, the Hornets were on a seven-game winning streak before losing two games on a four-game road trip. The Hornets will enter Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a two-game losing streak, which includes last Saturday's 97-79 loss to the Chicago Bulls in which the Hornets trailed by a 32-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Scott hinted after Tuesday's practice that he could make a change in the starting lineup, which likely could mean the return of starting small forward Peja Stojakovic, who has missed seven consecutive games with back spasms. Scott before Monday's against Houston that he expected Stojakovic to return sometime this week.

"All the injuries that we've had this year made it a little more difficult,'' Scott said. "Peja being out has definitely hurt us. We need everybody healthy. If we get everybody healthy and they're all playing somewhat near their capabilities, we've got a very good basketball team.''
